All I am saying is Charter (Spectrum) is a Monopoly in any other word IMHO and in America that will not be allowed to continue too much longer... Hiding behind subsidiary brand names of recent acquisitions and such is not fooling anyone, especially the new Administration coming in.. Just think back to mid 80's and Ma Bell then... Anti-Trust/Monopoly laws I feel real strong will come into effect regarding CHTR and smoke screens and lawyer loopholes to avoid detection with Time Warner, AT&T acquisitions will not fool anyone with common sense...
I believe to avoid being called a "monopoly" something like 60% or more of a brand control cannot be seen publicly, so they simply obtain rights to the name of what businesses they acquire and control that to keep CHTR to look like it don't own/control 60% or more of CATV market... But it does. MNRO is trying to do same damn thing with all its past 4 years of acquiring mid level auto repair centers yet gets control of their name and leaves name the same on buildings- but it all is controlled by MNRO... Monopoly in disguise if you wish...
Just what I see and I guess age makes a difference, because the only ones to get away with anti Trust/Monopoly issues was MSFT under Clinton's 1st term whereas Bill Gates made deal with State Department to NOT pursue the banking license then he wanted to get from US Treasury, in exchange, to incorporate "keys" in his software thereafter that ONLY FBI could access any computer/program for "security purposes"...
